'A Better Covenant'


The exploration of Melchizedek and Jesus' high priestly ministry naturally progresses to a discussion of the new covenant on which the ministry is based. Why is this a better covenant? Because it writes the law of God not on tablets of stone but on the human heart. Thus, it makes possible for human beings to know God in a true and meaningful way.
